I click, Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and get Internet
Explorer (no add-ons). I've followed all instructions I could find on this
topic but still unable to "Enable" add-opns.
Please Help

Hi,
Check these two things...
1. Right-click the IE icon on the Start Menu, choose Properties. Go to the
Shortcut tab. In the Target field, if "-extoff" is at the end of the path to
iexplore.exe, edit it out leaving "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe" (leave the quotes.)

2. Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> check "Enable third-party browser
extensions."

Hope this helps,
Don

Are you trying to do both with the same instance of the browser?
Be aware you are supposed to do the -extoff only and then try to
selectively disable add-ons for another instance of the browser
which is not in No Add-ons mode.

BTW it is quite difficult even getting into the Manage Add-ons
dialog using only a browser instance which is in No Add-ons mode.
The way I found was to open Internet Options from the Tools menu,
pick the Programs tab and use its Manage Add-ons button.
When you do that you can see that all add-ons are still marked
Enabled, so clearly the implementatioin of the No Add-ons feature
is not to temporarily disable all add-ons via the UI, if that is what
you were thinking happens.
